Ginger Family Getaway: 8/30-9/6 Trip Report DAY 7 & 8 UPDATED 10/2

[IluvXU]

A 4th of July baby! How fun! Enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend!

 

[Sooze]

Thanks! We are so sad... we were pooped and stayed home after everyone left from the party. I did watch a few of the neighbors' fireworks from our patio. Aubree's nap was short and late yesterday, so that made her very tired and we kept to her bedtime schedule. I'm hoping she'll like the Disney World fireworks. I prefer those to any others anyway! hehe

Yes... local fireworks are almost laughable compared to our great Disney stuff!! I really didn't get into it until the 'finale'..then I said, "Yes... Disney!"

Hey, I just realized we both have holiday babies. Aubree's a 4th of July Baby and Shae is a Valentine Baby! How fun! Tyson saw me reading your stuff and said, "That girl looks like Shaelyn!!" Smart boy...

Still trying to grab that flight..I'll let ya know what happens
We may just leave the day after you BUT we would be on the same flight on the way home.

I took a "online course" last night on how to overcome your fear of flying and ya know, It really helped...I feel alot better about it now.

Thankfully, no ... the only time I did that was when I took her for 1 year portraits to keep each outfit together. Don't be giving me ideas - my mother thinks I over do it on the outfits anyway! I am addicted to Gymboree after all!

Hi Betsy! I found your TR in the Hoosier dismeet threads. I live close to Avon and was just there since my 5 year old had oral surgery. I just wanted to say I am huge gymboree addict and belong to a message board dedicated to just gymbo Anyhow your dd is gorgeous...I have 3 out of 4 that are redheads. Does she have a temper to match? lol

I can't wait to hear about your trip!!

Hello neighbor! Thanks for joining in on my little piece of madness! Sorry to hear your 5 y/o had to have oral surgery! Yikes!

I used to chime in on the gymbofriends boards, but realized it was fueling my addiction too much! Thanks for the compliment on DD = we think she's pretty cute. I think the terrible 2's are upon us. She's starting to want more independence and her temper does flare occasionally, but she is generally a very good girl. I am really looking forward to seeing her reaction at Disney World. WOW - 3 out of 4 kids! That's a whole lotta gingers. I think one is all I can handle!

Just wanted to share my excitement at making our final payment today!

I'm also trying to teach Aubree to say, "Daddy, come back next year?" hehe

Seriously, how can he resist a face like this?

 

[Hedy]

Final payment.

 

[WDWBetsy]

We're doing the 45 day dance!



Hope everyone is having a great week so far...

Cute Pics of Aubrey! Keep practicing her "Daddy, come back next year?" phrase...dad's cannot resist cute little girls asking, trust me! If mine were only that little again...

 

[WDWBetsy]

mkycrzy1971: She really is a Daddy's girl, so I'm hoping!

Just tried stuffing some of the things I've purchased for our trip into a Priority Mail box to gauge how much room I need. Sadly, not a flat rate one. So far there are swim diapers & vinyl pants, changing pads, hand sanitizer, shampoo/conditioner, mister fans, disposable placemats, dish detergent & sponge, and Crystal Light. I'm still debating packing diapers in our luggage or having them delivered from a place like Garden Grocer. I will need toddler snacks and juice anyway so that might be the best option. Lord knows I always have a stuffed suitcase since I overpack.

My mom keeps saying that she can share a suitcase with Barry (NOT!) even though I have said Barry wants his own suitcase to bring home souvenirs. I told her that if she has extra room, we'll put diapers in there. My mom cracks me up. She has NO IDEA what to expect from this trip even though I've been trying to explain things.

Just checked our Northwest flights and they've changed our flight times again. Now leaving Indy at 8:15AM on 8/30 and Orlando at 11:30AM on 9/6. Not any major change, but I've adjusted the flight info on the PTR's 1st page. Looks like the flight to Orlando is almost sold out!

 

[WDWBetsy]

I decided to go ahead and order a case of bottled water, diapers, a 12-pk of Diet Pepsi Max, apple juice and a roll of paper towels from Garden Grocer. Just placed my order to have it delivered on our check-in date. I'll probably still send down a small box of baby supplies & snacks unless I can stuff everything in our luggage. While the prices were more than what I'd pay locally, I can't beat the convenience and it's definitely cheaper than buying stuff onsite.

In other news, Jon had to have one of his wisdom teeth pulled on Monday. So I've been taking care of 2 kids.

38 days baby!

Seriously, I would rather drive. Especially since I don't know how Aubree's going to act on the plane.

1st plane rides can be really good or really bad....here's hoping for really good.

I wish my DS would let me use that leash!

Love your stroller and the organizer! You sound all ready to go NOW!

Your DD is adorable too! I love her beautiful red hair!

 

[WDWBetsy]

Thanks OneTreeHillAddict! So glad you joined us for my PTR!

I went out to get the mail a few minutes ago, and our travel documents arrived! I almost did a little dance in the front yard, but decided against it (I'm prone to tripping!).
